CALL FOR PROPOSALS

Society for Ethnomusicology, Southern California Chapter

36th Annual Meeting

22-23 February 2002

Pomona College, Claremont, California

The 36th meeting of the Southern California Chapter of the Society for Ethnomusicology will take place on Friday and Saturday, 22-23 February 2002, on the campus of Pomona College in Claremont, California. All local SEM members, students, faculty, and prospective members who would like to learn more about the field of ethnomusicology are invited to attend.
The program committee invites proposals for papers, panels, roundtable discussions, workshops, film-video screenings, performances, and collective events. We prefer not to stipulate any conference themes in advance, instead allowing themes to emerge from the abstracts submitted. The program committee also extends to local American Musicology Society and Society for American Music members a special invitation to submit abstracts and panel proposals that might be of mutual interest.
Proposals from graduate students in ethnomusicology and closely related fields are especially welcome. All student papers are eligible for the Ki Mantle Hood Student Prize (for guidelines, click here ). We also strongly encourage local faculty, as well as new or visiting scholars, to contribute to the program.
Submissions will be accepted via regular mail (postmarked by 8 January) or via email (received by 9 January).
Regular Mail: Please submit six (6) copies of an abstract not more than 300 words and one page long. One copy should have your name, institutional affiliation and address in the bottom left corner; the remaining five copies should consist of your abstract text only, and should not include any identification of the author. Also include one copy of the completed Abstract Information Form (available here in PDF format , which you can print out, fill out, and mail with your proposal), and a stamped, self-addressed envelope or an email address (to facilitate notification). Please note that because of the necessity for multiple copies, faxed proposals cannot be considered. Proposals should be postmarked no later than Thursday, 8 January 2002. Mail proposals to:
Henry Spiller, SEMSCC Program Chair
Music Department
Cal Poly State University
San Luis Obispo, CA 93407

Begin your email message with the information requested on the Abstract Information Form (you can cut-and-paste the blank ASCII form from here into your email submission) .
